 Society Newsletters 1971 - 1977

Over the next year or so I hope to copy to the website some of the early Newsletters  of the Society. These where mainly given to me by the late Mrs. E. M. Paske, a founder member of the Society. You must remember that articles in the Newsletters and Journals are always written by members on topics they have been researching or meetings they have attended. The early Newsletters had no illustrations and those in the early Journals were of a poor quality.  I will try to source some photographs to illustrate the articles if I can. - Martin Hewitt
